My Shinka got HIT ! AWWWW

Well, I parked my car around my cousin's home .....

Went to my cousin's home and chill for a while ....

Came back and ....

WTF !?!?!?!?!?!

the Front left Bumper .... ahhhhh alllllll scratch up . FO#@UR)U#R)WEF)HJF@#)

Some fuxking *** must hit my car as they move their car out. Bunch of low skill fuxks .....

well now my question is that. IS THERE ANY WAY I CAN GET THE "BLACK CHERRY" paint ? cuz I think I would rather take the whole bumper out and paint it myself ....

but I cant seems to find this color .....

the best thing I can think of is:
get the black cherry touch up paint
take it to a automotive painter
ask if they can duplicate
paint it yourself.

However. I would just the dealer re paint it.

Sigh ....

its not very noticeable .... so might just leave it for a while until I get my other Car , which is going to be maybe 2-3 months later ....

cuz I cant live w/o driver for more than 1 day ! (I need it for school/work)'

I cant find any Black Cherry Touch up paint, however. :-(

A good body shop should have no problem matching pretty much any factory color.

Inconsiderate car people just really **** me off. I can park 10 spaces out from the last car at Wal-mart (i'm more than willing to walk to keep the welfare families away from it) and you come out and some jackass has parked a filthy, beat-up mini van with boogers and handprints on the windows right beside me. And uncle dad is sitting in the car smoking a cigarette looking at me like "that uppity bitch!"

I think people who molest other people's car should do hard time. NO REPEAT OFFENDERS!!!

Sorry about your car - it's my worst nightmare to think of something happening to Rex.

If there's no police report, and no one stepping forward, they may not accept the claim as an uninsured.

Pics.. If it's not too bad, maybe you could or pay a pro to buff it out. There's a detail specialist/professional that just joined the club on aother thread. Ask him..

Touch up paint

Getting the touch up paint from a dealership should be really easy since it is the same color available on the Miatas. Call around a bit and you shouldn't have a problem.

Real creative, huh? I don't ever set out to name my cars, but they always end up with a name of some kind.

Back from SErvice center.

my appointment was suppose to be 8 oclock in the morning, but I was a little early I got there and sit in the "waiting room" around 7:45 or so ...

The only thing they replaced was the "brake pad" cuz I complained about the noise, heres what it saids on the Receipt :

"CUST STATES THAT BRAKES ARE SQUEEKING, PLREACED FT. PADS"

I checked and yes they did replaced both front pads, but I doubt thats the main cause (according to one of the TSB)

FIY2-33-23Z was the FP number.


For the PCM Flash, they said they cant "do it" unless theres a "factory recall". I think I should've brought the Thermal Damage Recall printout with me to show them. Ahh well.

I will wait until my Brake Squeeks again. (Cuz I have a feeling its going to happen again)

You too??? Man, my car is a friggin' magnet! No matter how hard I try to park far away from everybody else, inevitably some jerk has decided he simply has to park right next to me. :-S
Yesterday I had to run three quick errands, and, sure enough, it happened three straight times.

For the record, my empathy to the victim of this thread. My own beautiful black cherry paint got marred by a rock to the hood. Dealer wants $500 (and two days with the car) to repaint the entire hood. So far, I'm just living with it....

Im going to leave it for now ... the spot isnt that "big" ...

My brother has an Black Altima SE-R ... and I took his "Super Black" touch up paint to cover some of the "bigger" spot and guess what ... its not really noticeable !

So Im just going to leave it for now ... Im just gonna replace the whole Bumper with MazdaSpeed version later ... with Matching paint, of course. 28W right? Got it. Thanks alot !
